READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes,

or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.

Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!

NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

NEVER pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.

NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result.

DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions, please call 1-888-559-8550 to speak to a service representative for further instructions.
